MORAN — Marmaton Valley High’s volleyball team proved to be most inhospitable hosts Tuesday.

The Wildcats made quick work of both visiting Altoona-Midway and Yates Center, allowing only 30 points throughout the four sets.

Marmaton Valley downed Altoona-Midway 25-7 and 25-7, behind another balanced attack.

Janae Granere had seven points, 10 kills and four blocks, while Kendall Scharff had 13 points. Aly and Kayla Ard each had five points. Aly Ard also had five kills; Kayla Ard notched a pair of blocks. Raveyn Kegler had 19 assists, while Tayven Sutton had two kills and two blocks.

The nightcap against Yates Center was only marginally more competitive, with Marmaton Valley rolling to a 25-8 and 25-8 romp.

Again, Marmaton Valley spread the wealth.

Kendall Scharff led the way with nine points and four kills, while Kayla Ard had nine points and three kills. Aly Ard had eight points and eight kills. Granere followed with seven points and three kills. Haylee Meiwes had five points. Kegler dished out 19 assists once again.

“It definitely was a team effort tonight,” Marmaton Valley head coach Tara Kegler said. “The girls set some goals. They met and exceeded the expectations.”

YATES Center, meanwhile, served up some thrills of its own, with a 28-26 and 25-23 nailbiter over Altoona-Midway.
